New insights into B-cell dysregulation are reshaping our understanding of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), and the BAFF/APRIL pathway in particular is being studied for its role in driving immune complex formation, glomerular injury, and disease progression. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to discuss B-cell dysregulation and its potential impacts on the IgAN treatment landscape is Dr. Jonathan Barratt. Dr. Barratt is the Mayor Professor of Renal Medicine at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom, where he also leads the Renal Research Group.
